Boosting issue

Since I got the NSX I didn't drive the RSX much last summer but when I driving it I was having a boost issue. The car was tuned to 16 lbs, but now only boosts to 8 lbs and no more, haven't found any leaks. Only problem that my friends and I can see is my boost silinoid as its not properly mounted. It's pretty much just dangling in the engine bay.

What boost controller are you using? what WG spring do you have in? If your WG spring is 8psi and thats all your hitting the solenoid isn't functioning. Id start by checking the wires, make sure they don't have a break from dangling around. IF they seem to check out alright, ensure that boost control is enabled in kpro just to double check. If everything still checks out maybe try another solenoid.

Figured out my problem, after buying a new solenoid and installing it. I actually spent some time looking around the engine bay. And low and behold, one of my coupler clamps was off. Put it back on tightened it up and was back to breaking loose in third gear. Woooooo.

That happened to me. Couldn't figure out why the car made a couple pounds less than 17psi. A week later, I relocated my battery to the trunk. Turns out, a coupler had a sliiight tear in it because it leaned hard on the battery tray metal base. Glad you found yours

And Joey, see if you can contact the owner and get him on boostedk20. That would be AWESOME
